Canada Reads 2019 panellists compete in a Book Jenga Q&A challenge

Before the debates coming March 25 to 28, 2019, the Canada Reads panellists faced off with a tower of the books they will be defending. Each book had questions inside about the upcoming battle of the books and the panellists’ own reading background.

The Canada Reads 2019 debates take place March 25-28, 2019. They will air on CBC Radio One at 11 a.m. (1 p.m. AT/1:30 p.m. NT), on CBC at 4 p.m. (4:30 NT), be live streamed online at CBC Books at 11 a.m. ET and will be available on the free CBC Gem streaming service.

About Canada Reads 2019:
Five books, five champions, one winner: CBC’s annual Battle of the Books has been getting people listening, watching and, of course, reading, for the past 18 years.

Canada Reads is a “literary Survivor,” with celebrities championing books. Each day, panellists vote to eliminate one book, until a single title is chosen as the title the whole country should read this year.
